to Breiseth, L (2014), the English reading ability for foreign students can benefit to
enjoy what the text or story is talking about, to explore many information in a text or
book. Therefore, the reading is necessary for students.
Based on the syllabus for the ninth grade students of junior high school, procedure
text is one of the material in the first semester. In procedure text, the ability that
students learn is mostly about reading. Comprehension in reading itself can be
defined as the act of constructing meaning from the text. The teachers commonly face
problem related with students’ comprehension of reading text, in teaching learning
through reading. The students sometimes difficult to comprehend the reading text,
because they did not have sufficient knowledge or only focus in the textbooks or
Lembar Kerja Siswa (LKS). The material also only about how to make instant
noodles or fried rice. Then, the teacher only asks the students to read the text and
answer the series of questions in it.
The general purposes of having a reading ability for students are to access the
literature, to make students enjoy reading in the foreign language, to read without
help unfamiliar authentic text (Nuttal, 2005). To practice cooking in the classroom is
good activity to make students enjoy in learning procedure text. Based on the
textbooks, there are some materials make students difficult to practice cooking in the
classroom. In making fried rice or instant noodles, the students have to bring the
kitchen equipments, such as pan, stove, spatula, etc. There are many materials that
can be implemented beside those that simpler for ninth grade students, such as how to
make rujak. Rujak is the one of the traditional food in Indonesia that simple to make
it.
Based on the explanation above, the researcher is interested to apply cooking class as

practice how to make it. Cooking class was chosen because students can practice
directly, fun, and fresh for their learning strategy in procedure text. Cooking class is
suitable for students because it easy to get the material in real life. Based on
preliminary in SMP Negeri 3 Sungai Raya by interviewing the teacher, the researcher
found out that the teacher never use cooking class as reading material in procedure
